Abstract
So far workflow management as an organizational and technical approach to integrate business processes has mainly been discussed in the area of office management and in service industries like banks or insurance companies. This paper describes the general characteristic of processes that are appropriate for workflow-support. Processes with these characteristics can be identified within the main areas of production management, namely construction, production planning and control and quality management Finally, this paper ends up suggesting two different approaches for possible workflow-based PPC-architectures.
